Ginkgo Nut

I don't really like ginkgo nuts but it's always in the fuzhuk we eat (yum) so I just eat it haha.

Yum I love fuzhuk. There's barley and beancurd skin and of course those ginkgo nuts.

  • Sweet (甘)
  • Bitter (苦)
  • Astringent (涩) - constricts, thus diminishes discharges (mucus)
  • Neutral (性平)
Mildly toxic to adults, toxic to children.
